Documents
Always required
Original passport valid at least 3 months beyond planned departure from the Schengen area and issued within the last 10 years, with at least two blank pages.
Danish missions require the passport to be valid at least 3 months beyond departure from the Schengen area and issued within the last 10 years for visas to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, following standard Schengen practice. Some embassies explicitly ask for a colour copy of all passport pages in addition to presenting the original.
Colour copy of all pages of the passport, including empty pages and front and back cover.
Several Danish embassies specify that applicants for visas to Greenland or the Faroe Islands must submit a colour copy of all passport pages in addition to the original passport.
Printed and signed ApplyVisa online application cover letter for visa to Greenland (and any Schengen visa if applied together).
Applicants must complete the online application and pay the fee via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ApplyVisa system, then print and sign the cover letter to submit at the Danish mission. Signature on the cover letter must match the signature in the passport.
Recent biometric passport-style photograph meeting Danish/Schengen visa photo standards.
Danish visa practice for short-stay visas, including visas to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, follows standard Schengen photo specifications. Some missions may require two identical photos; applicants should check local mission instructions.
Travel booking or itinerary showing planned round-trip or onward travel to and from Greenland, including any Schengen transit segments.
Danish missions recommend submitting a reservation or itinerary rather than a fully paid ticket until the visa is approved. Itinerary should clearly show applicantâs name, dates, and all flight or ship segments to and from Greenland and any Schengen transit points.
Proof of pre-booked accommodation in Greenland for the entire stay (hotel bookings, rental agreement, or invitation from private host).
Official embassy guidance for visas to Greenland and the Faroe Islands requires proof of pre-booked accommodation. If staying with a private host, a signed invitation letter and copy of hostâs ID or residence permit are typically required under Danish short-stay visa practice.
Recent bank statement or other proof of sufficient financial means to cover travel and stay in Greenland.
Danish missions require recent bank statements (often last 3 months, but at minimum not older than 1 month on the day of application) as proof of financial means for visas to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Exact minimum daily amounts are not consistently published for Greenland; applicants should verify any local thresholds with the relevant Danish mission.
Travel medical insurance covering the entire stay in Greenland and any Schengen transit, with sufficient medical and repatriation coverage.
While some Greenland-specific pages do not explicitly restate insurance requirements, Danish short-stay visa practice generally requires travel medical insurance comparable to Schengen standards for applicants who also need a Schengen visa for transit. Applicants should ensure the policy is valid in Greenland and any Schengen countries transited and covers emergency medical treatment and repatriation.
Recommended
Copy of valid residence permit or residence card for the Schengen country of residence, if applying from or residing in a Schengen state.
Required when applying from a country where you are not a citizen, such as holding a residence permit in a Schengen state; Danish missions commonly request both the original and a colour copy of the residence permit for Greenland/Faroe visa applications.
Signed letter or explanation of purpose of trip and itinerary in Greenland (tourism, visiting friends/relatives, etc.).
Some Danish missions request a short cover letter describing the purpose of travel, planned activities, and travel dates for visas to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Can be combined with invitation letter if visiting friends or relatives.
Proof of employment or study in country of residence (e.g., employer letter, recent payslips, or student enrollment confirmation) to demonstrate ties and ability to finance the trip.
Commonly requested under Danish visa practice as supporting evidence of ties to country of residence and financial situation, even when not listed explicitly on Greenland-specific pages. Self-employed applicants may provide business registration documents and recent tax returns instead.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
Bring cash in Danish kroner (DKK), especially if youâre visiting smaller towns/settlementsâcard and ATM access can be limited outside the bigger hubs.
2
In JulyâAugust, mosquitoes can be intense. Pack repellent and a head net; itâs one of those tiny items that can completely change how enjoyable your hikes and boat days feel.
3
Internal flights/boats have limited seats and fixed schedules. Once your dates are set, book inter-town transport earlyâwaiting âuntil laterâ can mean youâre stuck reshuffling your whole trip.
